Leopoldo Galtieri

Leopoldo Galtieri was an Argentine military leader who served as the country's dictator and president from 1981 to 1982. He was a general in the Argentine Army and led a military government during a period of political instability. Galtieri is best known for his role in the Falklands War, a conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands.
